Tailar System V2

Description
This is a system which I have worked on for approximately 6 months, albeit inconsistently. I likely have about a week's worth of work in here, and I have put a lot of effort into it, so I would appreciate an honest rating.

The Tailar System is a trinary system, being home to 3 stars as well as 21 planets, 17 moons, 1 submoon, and 6 dwarf planets. It is also home to one civilization, the Kalijau (ka-lee-how). Native to Kaious, they have spread throughout the Tailar System.

There are two other planets with naturally occuring surface-level ecosystems:

TU-IV Shayeli, a temperate, habitable planet with warm and shallow oceans, as well as lush, humid jungles teeming with life. No civilization has been able to develop due to the harsh and competitive nature of its ecosystems, resembling those of ancient Earth during the Cretaceous period. Due to its distance, the Kalijau have had rather poor chances of studying it, with brief flybys providing most of their information.

TK-IV Ubiro, a nearly frozen planet, having only sparse seas and lakes of liquid water around its equator which hosts struggling ecosystems of small, hardy plants as well as some small rodent-sized animals. Most life on this planet thrives around hydrothermal vents in oceans deep beneath the icy crust. Due to its close proximity to Kaious & its habitability and research potential, it has been thoroughly inhabited by the Kalijau, and been subjected to intensive study.

Other objects of interest include:

TK-I Clorantia, who's gravity has formed a small, tight asteroid belt in the inner Taulisk System

TN-IV Kaious, home of the Kalijau. It has three large moons, all of which have been colonized. The moon Boncan is of most interest, having been partially terraformed by the Kalijau, as well as hosting ancient fossils from before the climate changed and killed off all remaining life.

Suvela, the most massive planet in the system. It orbits the stellar barycenter, and it hosts a very large system of moons, with the asteroid-sized moons being too plentiful to simulate.


Oh... Whats this? The Kalijau have detected an interstellar object with strange brightness patterns, never before seen. It's almost as if its an alien probe... Could it be?

Well, its okay. But then again our simulations are quite similar, in a way... And again, I am also sorry for reacting bad and criticizing your system. Overall I think both of ours are good and since both of ours are not the same, both our systems are good in different ways.

Oh, and also, Im not really one to do collabs, I wouldn't know how to do it and I'm more of an independent worker. And yeah, I'm gonna admit, I was WAY overcritical of your system. Although it really did help boost my own simulation, it wasn't fair to you at all, considering yours is actually pretty good. Sorry man.

Oh, btw, I renamed and increased the size of a dwarf planet around tuleste, might wanna check it out

Nice:steamthumbsup:

I've updated the simulation. I added a bunch of bands on some of the gassy planets to increase detail. I've changed the magnetospheres, composition, size, and atmospheres of several planets and moons. I even added some asteroid moons to some outer bodies. I also changed Shayeli's vegetation to a dark purple coloration.

Suvela got a bunch of moons due to it being the most dominant planet beyond the neighborhood of the two inner stars, ending up capturing many planets that got flung from the main system or that formed in the outer regions. Earth's moon does not necessarily *have* to represent the maximum size limit of a moon. It's probably unlikely as heck, but not impossible. I simply wanted to showcase the possibility of a moon having a moon. Also, not all massive moons have atmospheres in the solar system, so I thought I'd apply that logic here too. And Mestuno is an unusually large captured moon. I don't want to put more asteroids in because that would mean hundreds of insignificant bodies to add and slow down my already slow PC.

I did not mean to criticize but I still wonder how a gas dwarf could be like that. And another question, why are they in the Tuleste system? Jovians can be slightly bigger but never have I seen sub-jovians used in lower class stars. Anyways, how did Suvela get a crap ton of moons? It is a bit far out of the system but like how? And how come Mestuno is bigger than Earth and yet have a moon bigger than Luna and contain and atmoshpere? Why aren't the other moons of Suvela like that? And you can simulate asteroids also. I put so much things on my system that it tends to be a bit laggy when loading or fast paced movement. About my system, I have found it to be stable and the only thing that is unstable are those annoying ring particles. Either way I think both of our systems are great and probably we might could do a collab, if you want.

"The lower limit for mass can vary widely for different planets depending on their compositions; the dividing mass can vary from as low as one to as high as 20 MEarth." -An article about gas dwarfs/mini neptunes. Considering the majority of the ones in my system have a mostly rocky composition, with the volatiles being only a comparatively thin outer layer, It is indeed possible. If it had a mostly gaseous composition at such mass, then it would certainly have evaporated.

Also, I didn't just get it from spaceengine. Spaceengine provided inspiration, it did not have the final say. Almost everything still lines up with reality. I do appreciate the criticisms though, because it allows me to refine my system to be more likely and realistic.

By the way I don't think mini-Neptunes have masses of about 2-3 earths.
